Today I found myself in old stomping ground at the House of Hope where I had once covered several stories. This is not a normal house though. The mega-church on the far south side of Chicago can seat over 10-thoudsand members. It is a predominately African America church. And for the American Heart Association, it is one of the best places to reach out to those who are more likely to become afflicted by stroke and heart disease. I, along with our Miss Illinois International and Miss Teen International, we invited to help. The AHA held a huge Health and Wellness Fair during the day which was followed by a gospel concert. More than 4 K people came out and Season, Megan and I had the chance to meet with them and hope they will leave with a bit of heart health knowledge.
